Chapter 531 Whoever commented on the merits, the imperial history pen is like a knife

At noon, more than 100 sergeants returned to Xuanfu with the mighty convoy. Although the people were still worried about the great turmoil in the first place, Zhang Yue had promised on the road that if they found out that those who had nothing to do with the thief party would not be left in trouble, they at least let go of their hearts. When he arrived at the large square in front of Yongqing Cang, Zhang Yuejiu ordered people to remove all the rice bags covered with the Wu family's stamp, and after letting people check them one by one, they found that almost all the 1,000 stone grain was sand.

"The Wu family is really daring!"

Seeing Meng Jun's face full of annoyance, Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it is precisely because he has taken the name of the Wu family that he can do this unscrupulously. Think about it, how strict the inspection of each warehouse is now, how can these hundreds of bags of yellow sand pass the customs in a fool's way? I also found out that those people were from the Wu family, so I became suspicious, and as a result, I almost got into trouble on impulse. ”

The military rations in the warehouse have always been the top priority of the border towns, not to mention that the batch of Xuanfu is used to make up for the gap in the Northern Expedition, and it is extremely strict that it should be put into storage, not to mention that each bag has the mark of its own merchant, and it has to be spot-checked one by one, and it is almost impossible to play any cats. Therefore, Zhang Yue stabbed the rice bag with a sword when the suspicions were concentrated on the Wu family, which really confirmed the vague guess in his heart. After all, if something big happened in broad daylight before, every merchant involved would never end well, so the initiator would definitely not show his true identity.

Meng Jun thought about it carefully and had to admit that Zhang Yue's statement was very reasonable. Glancing at the guys who were tied up like zongzi, his eyes lingered on Wu Yan for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "This time you caught someone, what are you going to do next?" That guy was hit by three arrows in his body, even if it was not critical, but it was enough to choke, and he was able to stand up until now, and it was estimated that it would not be easy to pry something out of his mouth. ”

"Wu Yan handed it over to Wu Anhou, this person is extremely problematic, maybe he is a Tatar spy, and it is very appropriate for Wu Anhou to deal with it. As for the others, I still have some use, if they resist to the end, they will have to borrow the brocade guards at that time. As for the eldest brother-in-law, let's go to Zhangjiakou Fort again in the afternoon, since you are doing a play, why do you have to do a full set, right? ”

This arrangement didn't sound like a problem at first, but Meng Jun quickly figured it out. Seeing that Zhang Yue walked to Peng Shisan's side with a slight smile, pointing at those captives as if he was commanding something, he suddenly shook his head angrily. The ideas were all Zhang Yue's ideas, and now it seems that this guy is also a top master in apportioning tasks...... However, this is not only a task, but also a division of work in the final analysis, this hand is played perfectly, and I don't know where Zhang Yue learned it!

Since there were hundreds of people, it was extremely difficult to screen them one by one, so Zhang Yue first selected all the people in the Wu family's convoy, and the rest of the people were divided into more than a dozen groups according to the relationship between fellow villagers or relatives and friends, focusing on letting the servants check the people hired by the Wu family and those who did not know others. When Zheng Heng, who got the letter, sent his own soldiers to pick up the dying Wu Yan, he walked up to the rest of the guys who were tied up and glanced at them coldly.

"I'm going to give you one last chance, and that's to tell you what you know. If they are still dead, then I have to send people to Jinyiwei, and they are now idle and panicked, and they are worried that no one will practice torture! ”

As soon as the words fell, a man who was tied up sturdily moved over with a rolling belt, raised his head and shouted: "The adults spare their lives, and the little ones are willing to say anything!" The little one was hired by Boss Wu, and he said that his surname was Wu and he was a member of the Wu family in Fenzhou, so the little one naturally believed it. The guy who assassinated the adult didn't know the little one, he was a close confidant of Boss Wu, and the little one just took the money and did what he was told! Boss Wu taught us some things, and the little one just said it as it was, and it was by no means intended to ruin the reputation of the adult...... Small...... The little one also knows that there are still a few people from Boss Wu among the people there! ”

The three words of Jin Yiwei are really more effective than the life talisman, as soon as this person opened his mouth to confess, the others immediately scrambled to reveal all the things they knew. With these confessions, Zhang Yue quickly and smoothly found five or six more from the people. Although these people don't know much, they have gained more or less after being interrogated one by one. It's just that he really didn't have the heart to analyze and sort out these today, so he waved his hand and ordered Xiang Long and Liu Bao to take them away.

Since most of the remaining people are villagers who can be linked to each other, the servants recorded their names and surnames one by one and came to ask Zhang Yue, and the last one was temporarily released, but they were ordered not to leave the city. For not having to go to jail and regaining their freedom so quickly, the three or four hundred people were all relieved, and they had to kowtow around in a noisy manner, and said something to make amends. In the face of such sincere and kind-hearted people, Zhang Yue naturally had no sense of blame in his heart, but he had to say something.

"Today's incident is just a traitor's incitement, you don't have to take it to heart, but it's my duty not to let you out of the city, I'm really sorry. I only have one sentence to remind you that you are all good people, if you encounter this kind of occasion in the future, you must think about it, otherwise it will be too late to make a big mistake! ”

There are more than 100,000 people in Xuanfu City, and there are hundreds of people, and they are all ordinary people such as coachmen and foot power, and they can't even make a splash, but now these people are talking about one thing together, there is a way that is spread ten or ten hundreds, but most of the day, the streets and alleys are spread everywhere. It's just that this word of mouth has never been accurate, and some say that Zhang Yuewu was brave enough to split the assassin in half with one sword; Some say that the two Tartar envoys were so frightened that they peed their pants on the spot; Some say that the guys who fanned the flames were rich people who had not been able to eat salt before, and now they are taking revenge...... It's just that the person who listens to it will naturally choose what he wants to hear, and the others will be completely automatically filtered out.

The northwest and southwest corners of Xuanfu are mostly lonely streets and alleys, the center is the important military place such as the General Military Palace, the four corners are four granaries, the southeast is a large inn where rich merchants gather, and the northwest corner is inhabited by some scholars and scholars, as well as a few civil officials in the whole Xuanfu Town. Among them, Liu Zixu, the governor of Xuanfu, rented a house here to live.

Although he has the same name as the once famous Wu Zixu, Liu Zixu, who is almost at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, has a bumpy career. He was only forty years old when he was admitted to the Jinshi, and it was almost a circle of yamen, and finally he set up camp in the Duchayuan, and it has been five years now. Although his grade is only seven now, this patrol of the Son of Heaven is very powerful, so he is full of ambition and does not regret his old age. At this moment, he walked back and forth in the study, his face full of excitement.

"What is calm and calm, what is appropriate, no matter what considerations Zhang Yue has and what he thinks, disposing of the Mongolian envoy without authorization is arbitrary, it is overstepping his authority! The emperor has already had a rule, if there is an envoy from other clans in the border town, he will give it to the Beijing master, not to mention that he is only a five-grade official, and he has no right to dispose of it at all, even if he is Zheng Heng, the Marquis of Wu'an, he can't make any agreement with the Tatars without authorization! The Zhang family has one family, one male and one uncle, this is already too heavy, that is, Zhang Yue is indeed talented and meritorious, and he is young, and he can't use it like now, look at what he has become arrogant now! ”

Seeing that this old-timer from the science field and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was flying around and talking more and more, Yu Qian couldn't help but frown when he wanted to interrupt several times but didn't find a chance. If the rumors outside are true, then it is appropriate to accuse Zhang Yue of exceeding his authority and arbitrariness, no matter what the starting point is, the system is the system, and we must not ignore it without pampering ourselves. However, from this to the Zhang family, it is even said that Zhang Yue is arrogant, which is a bit excessive.

Liu Zixu didn't notice Yu Qian's expression at all, his steps became faster and faster, and his face became more and more angry: "The world's scholars have been studying hard for decades, and the ups and downs of the scientific field have been decades, so that they can get a Jinshi fame, but Zhang Yueqin gave him a background, and he crossed the most difficult hurdle, not to mention, and then he actually tried the palace and tried it overnight, where is this place for the world's poor scholars?" That's not all, as a civil official, he hooked up with a eunuch, how could he have the style of a literati? ”

Speaking of this, he turned around, looked at Yu Qian and said with a fanatical face: "Tingyi, these days you and I have been talking to each other, I think you are a person with a straight and upright nature, and you are just a natural imperial history." How about it, this time you and I are impeaching together, and it is also a positive atmosphere for the DPRK and the Central Committee, how about it? ”

Yu Qian sighed for a while and replied calmly: "Senior Liu, the stakes are very high, I have to go out tomorrow to ask those people carefully." If it is true, I will play it as it is, and I will not hesitate for a moment. If the matter is not false or untrue, it is not a gentleman's act to use rumors and rumors to slander people and be clear. ”

If it were someone else, he would definitely be furious when he heard this, but Liu Zixu felt his character because of the friendship he had lived with Yu Qian in the past few days, so he nodded again and again at this time: "It's me Meng Lang, it's really not what the imperial history should do if you listen to and believe partially, Tingyi, you will inquire carefully tomorrow." I've already asked, I'll draft the recital overnight tonight, and I'll send it directly tomorrow, so I won't wait for you! I only hope that the emperor can understand the hard work of the courtiers, and when the time comes, I will be willing to send me to Jiaolu. ”

Since the emperor's later years, it has become a habit to belittle ministers at every turn, so when Liu Zixu said the last sentence, he couldn't help but think of several colleagues who were deposed during the fire in the three major halls in March, and his face was a little embarrassed, but he was cheered up immediately after. After saying hello to Yu Qian and asking him to wait for dinner alone, he walked out of the house like a young man.

This night, the lights in the small room of the Liu Mansion were on all night, and Yu Qian also tossed and turned and stayed awake all night.
